I’ve kept a journal since I was 7. From the age of 13, I also kept a planner. I’m not sure when I started also carrying a notebook &/or sketchbook with me everywhere, but it was sometime before I turned 19.  Without fully admitting to my current age, let’s just say it’s been a long […]

Just before Christmas I was asked if I had time to do a family shoot with their newest (fur covered) addition. The benefit to Summer’s late sunsets was that, on the date they needed, I was able to finish up at the event I was covering & would still have natural light available for them! […]

As per the media release put out today by Attorney General, George Brandis, “The right to marry in Australia will no longer be determined by sex or gender.  Marriage will now be defined in the Marriage Act 1961 as the ‘union of two […]

This fantastic wedding was just the right sort of different – they knew they didn’t need to take the day seriously so made sure they, & their guests, enjoyed themselves above all else. There was humour, a heap of good DIY, history, a play on the idea of tradition, & a lot of laughter.  They […]

Lego is the abbreviation of two Danish words, “Leg godt,” meaning “play well.” Certainly can’t argue with that when it comes to most well-known product to come out of their factories since they launched the business in 1932. It’s synonymous with childhood. It’s a brand, and product, that is known, loved, and respected the world […]

The “Swell of the Decade” has been hitting Western Australia since Friday, thanks to a huge storm 2,000km off the coast. 5m (16ft) waves with 16 second swell periods….. Up to 9-12m (30-40ft) waves. The “Ride of a Lifetime.” So what would Bodhi do? He’d be right in there! Wouldn’t miss it for anything of […]

The news today was quite sombre within the WA State Emergency Service online groups.  There was another cliff rescue – two in fact – up in Karijini National Park. Specialised teams, often made up by members from multiple units, are sent out to perform a time sensitive rescue under dangerous conditions.  Vertical Rescue team members […]

Our team for the WW1 Series spent 3 evenings shooting on location.  Not including preparation or travel time, we spent roughly 2 hours each of those nights on ‘set’.  Yet there are only 6 photos in the limited edition print release. So what happened to the photos that didn’t make the cut?     Press […]

My mother’s parents met during the Second World War. They’re not the only members of my family who have served their countries, but they’re the ones I knew closest. Gran was a nurse, and Pock was a pilot in the Navy. I always wanted to follow in his footsteps, and applied for the Royal Australian […]

I’ve known Paul for a decade. Four years ago, he asked the love of his life to marry him. And not long after that, they asked me to be their wedding photographer. These two lovebirds are so perfect for each other, it’s hard to remember a time that they weren’t together. I adore Nina as […]

This has been the most convoluted & long-winded move I’ve made since changing country/city… & I’m not entirely sure even those times were this complex. Every spanner we could have been thrown, has been! The new house has required so much cleaning (seriously…. 4 bottles of Sugar Soap, plus oven cleaner, Ajax, Finish, Jif, Dettol, […]

The thing about Australians, is they’re a very laid back bunch. As a culture there’s a lot to be said for, “She’ll be right mate, no worries.” The standard response to a bad thing is to crack a tinny with your best mate.  Ignore it, build a bridge & get over it, because it will […]
